The molecular defect leading to Hb Koln has been analyzed by synthetic
oligonucleotides. Thus, DNA of 19 nucleotides, in length corresponding to
the normal and mutant beta-globin gene sequences, were used to develop a
direct assay for the beta k-gene that codes for this most common form of
the unstable hemoglobins. The use of synthetic oligonucleotides established
that the Hb Koln mutation is due to a G-to- A transition. The conditions
described here should result in the determination of all Hb Koln genotypes
with a high level of confidence.
